1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible For Sale
41,000 Original Miles * 2 Owners * 5.0L V8 * Automatic * Original Window Sticker
Offered for sale is this exceptionally appealing 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible, finished in classic Black with a Scarlet Red cloth interior. Showing approximately 41,000 original miles, this two-owner Fox Body Mustang combines its original 5.0-liter V8, automatic overdrive transmission, and desirable factory equipment with extensive maintenance documentation. Purchased from its original owner in March of 2024 with just 38,000 miles, this Mustang has reportedly always been garage-kept and remains largely stock.
The engine retains its factory configuration, with the primary modifications consisting of a Flowmaster exhaust system and subframe connectors. Accompanied by its original factory window sticker and numerous service invoices, this is a well-documented example of one of Ford's most recognizable performance convertibles. Original 5.0L V8 & Automatic Overdrive
Under the hood is Ford's legendary 5.0-liter (302 cubic-inch) electronic fuel-injected V8, paired with the factory four-speed automatic overdrive transmission.
The engine remains stock, preserving the character and driving experience that made the 5.0 Mustang so popular during the late 1980s. The car benefits from two tasteful upgrades:
Flowmaster exhaust system for a more pronounced V8 sound
Subframe connectors to help improve chassis rigidity
The owner describes the car as turnkey and ready to enjoy. Black Exterior & Scarlet Red Interior
The factory Black exterior gives this Mustang a timeless appearance, complemented by its distinctive Scarlet Red cloth interior.
As an LX 5.0 Convertible, it offers a clean, understated alternative to the GT while retaining the same desirable V8 powertrain. The original window sticker confirms an attractive selection of factory equipment, including:
Power-operated convertible top
Power windows
Power door locks
Air conditioning
Speed control
Tilt steering wheel
Power rack-and-pinion steering
Power front disc brakes
Articulated sport seats with power lumbar support
AM/FM stereo cassette system
15-inch cast-aluminum wheels
Tinted glass
Dual electric remote mirrors
Rear window defroster listed on the original equipment sheet
The contrasting black-and-red color combination adds to this Mustang's appeal and gives the interior a distinctly period-correct appearance. Extensive Maintenance & Service Documentation
One of the strongest selling points of this Mustang is its documented maintenance history.
The included invoices show substantial mechanical attention, including both drivetrain repairs and routine servicing. Automatic Transmission Rebuild - May 2013
An invoice from Hi-Tech Transmissions documents a rebuild of the AOD automatic transmission, including:
Transmission gasket and seal kit

These records demonstrate significant attention to the car's mechanical upkeep, with major maintenance completed during the current ownership period. Original Window Sticker & Factory Documentation
Included with the car is its original 1989 Ford factory window sticker, a particularly desirable piece of documentation for a collector-quality Fox Body Mustang. The sticker confirms:
Model: 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible
Exterior: Black
Interior: Scarlet Red Cloth
Engine: 5.0L EFI V8
Transmission: Four-speed automatic overdrive
Original Selling Dealer: H.J.
Nassar Motor Co., Lawrence, Massachusetts

The window sticker also identifies the factory Special Value Group and optional automatic transmission. Having the original window sticker alongside the maintenance records provides valuable insight into the car's original configuration and ownership history. Two-Owner History & Low Original Mileage
According to the current owner, this Mustang has had just two owners since new and has always been garage-kept.
The current owner purchased the vehicle directly from the original owner approximately 21/2 years ago with 38,000 miles. It now shows approximately 41,000 miles, with the mileage represented as original. The dated service records also provide supporting mileage history, documenting 38,171 miles in April 2024, 38,625 miles in June 2024, and 39,399 miles in October 2024.
The combination of limited ownership, low reported original mileage, factory documentation, and extensive maintenance receipts makes this Mustang particularly appealing to enthusiasts seeking a largely original example. A Desirable Fox Body Mustang Convertible
The 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible represents an increasingly sought-after chapter in Ford performance history. Its fuel-injected 302 V8, classic Fox Body styling, and open- air driving experience continue to attract enthusiasts and collectors.
This particular example stands out with its Black and Scarlet Red color combination, approximately 41,000 original miles, two-owner history, stock engine, rebuilt automatic transmission, and extensive service documentation. With the major maintenance already documented and only modest performance-oriented upgrades, this Mustang offers an attractive opportunity to own and enjoy a classic 5.0 convertible. A well-documented, low-mileage 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible with the right color combination, a largely stock drivetrain, and the unmistakable character of Ford's legendary Fox Body Mustang.
